World music connecting people

Nessa breve vida...Venho ao fogo perguntar...

Canto ao Fogo

Taken from the debut album from Ela Stiles, due out Bedroom Suck on 2 June. This solo record is comprised entirely of a-cappella performances. It is her voice alone that fills the listener’s ear, and then her voice again, rising and falling in different vocal patterns both rhythmic and melodic, turning in on itself and creating layers of startling sound.

LYRICS

Mr President, we’re in trouble. 

It’s clear that the true problems of our nation are much deeper… deeper than gasoline lines or energy shortages – deeper, even, than inflation or recession. 

Too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.
Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but by what one owns.

And we’ve discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning.
We’ve learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose. 

Mr President, we’re in trouble. 

What can we do?
First of all, we must face the truth and then we can change our course.
If you lead Mr President, we will follow.

Respiro

Kurt Vonnegut in 1973 and Mary O’Hara in 1957 feature on this track that reflects on coping with death and grief through the use of excerpts from the former’s novel Slaughterhouse-Five narrated by the author himself. The excerpts are worked into a song based on Mary O’Hara’s version of an old Irish song called Eileen Aroon. The hook of the song is actually Kurt Vonnegut himself which may well be the only known recording of him singing. He sings a couple of lines from an old song cited in Slaughterhouse-Five called That Old Gang of Mine.

Lyrics

So long forever, old fellas and gals
So long forever, old sweethearts and pals
God bless ‘em

Robert Kennedy, whose summer home is 8 miles from the home I live in all year round, was shot 2 nights ago.
He died last night. So it goes.
Martin Luther King was shot a month ago. He died too. So it goes.

So long forever, old fellas and gals
So long forever, old sweethearts and pals
God bless ‘em

And every day my government gives me a count of corpses created by military science in Vietnam. So it goes.
My father died many years ago now, of natural causes.
He was a sweet man. He was a gun nut too.
He left me his guns. They rust.

So long forever, old fellas and gals
So long forever, old sweethearts and pals
God bless ‘em

So it goes.

Everything is alright and everybody has to do exactly what he does.

Fold - So It Goes (ft. Kurt Vonnegut)

This track features a controversial speech given by Dr Martin Luther King Jr in 1967 in protest of the Vietnam war. He had already received the Nobel Peace Prize and one year later to the day he was murdered. Many felt that as a civil rights leader he had no place speaking out against the war but he was adamant with good reason that ‘a time comes when silence is betrayal.’ His understanding of global politics and his knowledge of history as evidenced in the case he makes throughout this speech were extraordinary.

The narrative extracted from this speech is however more generally a calling to speak out against injustice & tyranny perpetrated against those who otherwise have no way of defending themselves and no forum in which to voice their victimisation. These words resonate with grave potency in today’s world just as they did in those days. They could apply just as easily to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as they did to the war in Vietnam.

Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music chose this track for the BBC Introducing Mixtape and also aired it on his show.

LYRICS

I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. 

A time comes when silence is betrayal. The truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. 

We are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for the victims of our nation, for those that call us enemy. For no document from human hands can make these humans any less our brothers. 

We are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us. We must be prepared to match actions with words by seeking out every creative method of protest possible. 

Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.

Fold - We Must Speak (ft. Dr Martin Luther King Jr)

Fronted by vocal excerpts from Mike Ruppert in CoLLapse – a film about Mike's ominous, eerily accurate predictions for our collective future – this track highlights the need for us to change the way we think in order to effect real change in the world.

LYRICS

All plastic is oil; most paints; all pesticides are made from oil. Everything from toothpaste to toothbrushes is made from oil. There are 7 gallons of oil in every tire. There is nothing anywhere in any combination that will replace the edifice built by fossil fuels… Nothing.

I think it’s fairly certain that the mortal blow of human industrialised civilisation will happen when oil prices spike again and nobody can afford to buy that oil – and everything will just shut down.

The love of money is the route of all evil and it is the love of money which has the potential to exterminate, to render extinct, the entire human race.

You walk toward your fear, you embrace your fear, you don’t try to hedge it. Part of real living as a human being, as a spiritual being, is to embrace and encompass your fear, your love and not run away from anything because that’s the life experience. And its in that richness that I think we find the most beautiful art, the most beautiful music; we find the richness of what the human soul can offer and I see all that richness buried under such bullshit.

The only thing in the world that you and I can possibly change – to give ourselves a chance of survival and to give our children a chance at some kind of human civilised life – is our minds.

We are all collectively – as a species – responsible for what may be the greatest preventable holocaust in the history of planet earth… our own suicide.

Fold - That's the Life Experience (ft. Mike Ruppert)

As Dr Martin Luther King Jr states so eloquently 'I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values.' This was as valid 4 decades ago as it is today – and not just for the USA.

We are pleased to present a new release by Mariana Root - Rezo. 
It's a song from her first album 'SOLay', that inspired the impressive remixes by Lama's Dream and Ivan Latyshev.
 
Mariana Root is a Portuguese singer and a songwriter who lived four years in South America where she had the opportunity to witness different rituals and ceremonies with indigenous natives from the Amazon forest, such as Shipibo-Conibo, Huni Kuin and Yawanawa, the Q'erus of the Andes, the Koguis and Wywas of the Sierra Nevada of Colombia, who carry their own native song, received from several generations' transmission, and who pass down an ancestral way of singing, from a state of a human integrated into nature. Inspired by these encounters, Mariana recorded her first album, from which the song 'Rezo' comes. The name of the song is translated as 'Prayer'. We would love to introduce this culture to a wider audience, in the form of a more modern electronic cut. It's produced with great care, and intention to preserve the integrity and depth of this song. 

In addition to a strong organic original, you can find the deep sound of experimental electronics in 4/4 style, which is ideal for dance floors, deep listening, or ecstatic dance sessions.
